The idea is laughable. The Devil, on the other hand, laughs with demonic mirth, is possessed of a sardonic wit, and his eyes hold a glint of wicked bemusement.

Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The Ottoman Empire] whose sick body was not supported by a mild and regular diet, but by a powerful treatment, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59901]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The Ottoman Empire] whose sick body was not supported by a mild and regular diet, but by a powerful treatment, which continually exhausted it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We probably will see fewer people travel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40909]]></link><description><![CDATA[We probably will see fewer people travel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59698]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His patient soul endures what Heav'n ordains, But neither feels nor fears ideal pains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45716]]></link><description><![CDATA[His patient soul endures what Heav'n ordains, But neither feels nor fears ideal pains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness.
